1898 Map of Port Henry

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

Lake Champlain dominates this late-nineteenth-century landscape, acting as both a natural barrier and a vital conduit between New York and Vermont. The map documents a busy maritime and rail corridor, featuring the Champlain Transportation Co. Steamer Route cutting through the center of the lake while the Delaware and Hudson R. R. and Central Vermont R. R. hug the respective shorelines. On the New York side, industrial and transit hubs like Port Henry and Westport are shown in detail, while the Vermont shore reveals a more agricultural character in Ferrisburg and Panton. Significant colonial history is preserved at the southern end of the sheet, where the Crown Pt. Fort Ruins and French Fort Ruins sit on the strategic peninsula of Crown Point. The relief mapping highlights the stark contrast between the flat plains around Otter Creek and the steep elevations of Split Rock Mountain and Snake Mountain.
